  Big beast of a wine with a lot of dark fruits and structure. Needs a major decant / more time asleep to balance out. Benefitted from a 2 hour splash decant but still was tight and tannic into the finish. I’d suggest trying in 2026. Hopefully the fruit holds up.

  Still dark and dense, but the fruit is soft and deep - fantastic

  5 or 12 decanted @ 4:00 served @ 8:00 as with prior two bottles. Starts dark and broody, as the evening rolled on this showed more complexity picking up some dark cherry notes and spice. Should improve with another 5-10 years in the cellar

  Vertical/Horizontal Tasting of Chevillon Nuits St. Georges Premier Crus (San Francisco): Deep, even ruby. Powerful blackberry fruit scents. Medium weight. Penetrating blue/black fruit and soil. A little orange peel appears later. Very tannic but not at all harsh. Young, classic Nuits that is easy to appreciate and admire now but should continue to unfold over the next 15 years and turn out to be fabulous. A wine to answer 2005 naysayers.
  
  Even better 2 nights later.

  4 of 12 opened @ 3:00 served @ 7:30. like the bottle last year, after 4 hours decanting time this was dark, deep and delicious. This has real punch and will continue to improve over the next decade. Had this bottle alongside the 2010 which was more open and giving showing lighter, brighter red fruits with nice balance and finish.
